Ohio Supreme Court Traffic Rule Amendment

The Ohio Supreme Court announced this afternoon that it has adopted an amendment to the state’s Traffic Rules that clarifies the authority of traffic violations bureaus.

An addition to Rule 13(B)(4) states that driving while under suspension or revocation of a driver’s or commercial driver’s license cannot be processed by a traffic violations bureau “when jail is a possible penalty.”Text of the Amendment
